CHAPTER 122 — Sovereigns Clash, Abyss Descends
---
1. When Two Titans Roar, the World Trembles
The sky split cleanly in two.
One half seethed with golden radiance—
the domain of the Sovereign Dragon, the last Primordial Light of the Dragon Race.
The other half churned with bottomless black—
a rift dripping abyssal corruption, out of which crawled a nightmare shaped like a dragon.
The world seemed to lose color.
Wind quieted.
Mountains stilled.
Even the sun dimmed as if afraid to shine.
Lin stood in the void between them—
Bai at his side, gripping his spear with shaking hands—
while Cloudsky Sect disciples watched from below with frozen terror.
The Sovereign Dragon's voice thundered:
> "WORLD-SOVEREIGN—STEADY YOURSELF.
THIS CREATURE…
IS NOT MERELY A DRAGON."
Lin's grip tightened around his spear.
"I know."
Because the corruption seeping from the beast ahead carried the same stench Lin had inhaled through his inner world—
the stench of the True Abyss.
---
2. The Abyssal Drake — A Forgotten Origin
The rift widened.
A colossal figure stepped through.
Not crawled—
Stepped.
With dignity.
With purpose.
With the slow, heavy authority of a being who once ruled.
A dragon-shaped titan covered in abyssal exoskeleton plating.
Wings torn, yet emitting pure void.
Eyes burning blue like dying stars.
The Sovereign Dragon growled low:
> "Drakarth the Star-Devourer…
I had thought you dead."
A hush fell.
Bai blanched.
"Drakarth…? That's—Master—that's a Sovereign-Executioner! A dragon bred to kill Sovereigns!"
Lin's brows rose slightly.
"…A what?"
The Sovereign explained, voice thick with sorrow:
> "In ancient ages, when our race ruled the heavens, a single dragon was chosen each era…
to end a Sovereign who lost themselves to madness."
"Drakarth was the strongest of them."
"Until the Abyss claimed him."
Lin's blood chilled.
"So he wasn't born abyssal…"
The Sovereign's eyes darkened.
> "No.
He was corrupted.
Twisted.
Hollowed."
"Now he is the Abyssal Ancestor's hound."
Drakarth lifted his head.
His voice rolled across the heavens like cosmic hunger.
> "Light-Sovereign.
Step aside."
---
3. The Target Revealed
The Sovereign Dragon lowered his massive wings.
> "No."
Drakarth's blue eyes swiveled toward Lin.
> "THEN THE HUMAN DIES."
Lin didn't flinch.
He lifted his spear and spoke calmly:
"Seems I'm popular lately."
Bai barked, "MASTER THIS ISN'T FUNNY—THAT THING IS STRONGER THAN ABYSSAL GENERALS—"
Lin lowered his stance.
Lightning coiled around his body.
"I know."
---
4. Sovereigns Clash — The First Impact
Drakarth moved—
and the sky shattered.
Not metaphorically.
Physically.
Cracks spread across the heavens like broken glass.
The impact wasn't just strong—
it was cosmic, born from an ancient lineage meant to execute dragon gods.
The Sovereign Dragon intercepted the blow.
BOOOOOOOOM—!!!
A shockwave tore several mountain peaks clean off.
Cloudsky Sect's defensive formations shattered instantly.
The Flower Pavilion Sect Mistress shouted, "Brace yourselves!"
Dozens of inner and core disciples were thrown backward, coughing blood.
Danfeng swore, hair whipping wildly.
"Hell's smoldering cauldron—WHAT are those monsters made of?!"
---
5. Lin Joins the Fight
The Sovereign Dragon roared:
> "WORLD-SOVEREIGN—THE RIGHT WING!
STRIKE HIS VOID-NEXUS BEFORE IT STABILIZES!"
Lin flashed forward instantly.
His spear crackled with tribulation lightning.
Drakarth snarled and swung his tail.
Lin barely blocked—
CRUUUUUUNCH—!!
The force slammed him through three floating boulders.
Bai screamed, "MASTER!"
But Lin steadied in mid-air, wiped the blood from his lip…
…and grinned.
"Alright then."
He spun the spear.
"Let's see how tough an Executioner really is."
Tribulation lightning erupted from him—
and the world recognized its master.
---
6. Bai Joins — Sovereign Heir's First Battle
Bai transformed into full dragon form in mid-flight.
White scales.
Thunderstorm aura.
Eyes blazing with new Sovereign technique runes.
He lunged at Drakarth's flank—
ROOOAAARR!!
Drakarth twisted and met him head-on.
CLAAASH!
Sparks of divine thunder and abyssal void erupted across the sky.
Bai cried out in pain but didn't back down.
"This is my duty… my legacy!"
---
7. The Fight Tilts — Drakarth's Abyssal Core Awakens
Suddenly—
Abyssal runes pulsed over Drakarth's chest.
His eyes darkened.
"Enough."
He unleashed a breath attack—
not flame—
VOID.
A black beam erased air, sound, and matter.
The Sovereign Dragon shoved Bai aside—
SHOOOOOOOM—!!!
The beam struck him directly.
The light in the sky vanished.
When it faded—
The Sovereign Dragon was bleeding.
Half his shoulder was gone.
Cloudsky Sect cried out in horror.
Lin's eyes went cold.
---
8. Lin Unleashes His Evolved World Power
Lin raised his hand.
A sun burst behind him.
Then a second.
His binary solar system flickered into reality.
The laws of his inner world shone like divine scripture:
Solar Devouring Law
Lightning Tribulation Law
World Tree Rebirth Law
Lin's voice was low, dangerous.
"Drakarth."
He pointed his spear.
"You shouldn't have done that."
His aura exploded—
like a supernova wearing human form.
Saint Shengyuan, watching from the inner world, whispered:
> "He's not using his full world…
only a fragment…"
"…and still rivaling Sovereigns."
---
9. The True Threat Emerges
Lin, Bai, and the Sovereign Dragon surged together for a coordinated attack—
when suddenly—
Every abyssal portal in the entire northern continent flared at once.
A voice seeped through.
A voice older than continents.
Older than suns.
Older even than the Sovereign Dragon.
Abyssal.
Calm.
Horrifying.
> "I SEE YOU…
WORLD-SOVEREIGN."
Lin froze.
The Sovereign Dragon roared in terror.
Bai's heart nearly stopped.
The Abyssal Ancestor's shadow covered the entire continent—
and something massive began to push through the largest rift.
Something with…
More than one head.
More than one wing.
More than one existence.
The Sovereign Dragon whispered in dread:
> "No…
Not him…"
Lin's eyes widened.
"Who?"
The sky trembled as a monstrous silhouette rose behind Drakarth—
"THE ABYSSAL HYDRA-KING."
